ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On the 18th day of May, 2011, Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), a leading provider of commercial/industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning services, posted to the Investor section of its Internet website (www.comfortsystemsusa.com) an investor presentation slideshow. The Company intends to use this presentation in making presentations to analysts, potential investors, and other interested parties.
The information included in the investor presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Companys management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Companys performance. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Companys core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
The information in this Form 8-K being furnished under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the Companys expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks are discussed in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including an extensive discussion of these risks in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current plans and expectations of future events of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, the use of incorrect estimates for bidding a fixed-price contract, undertaking contractual commitments that exceed our labor resources, failing to perform contractual obligations efficiently enough to maintain profitability, national or regional weakness in construction activity and economic conditions, financial difficulties affecting projects, vendors, customers, or subcontractors, our backlog failing to translate into actual revenue or profits, difficulty in obtaining or increased costs associated with bonding and insurance, impairment to goodwill, errors in our percentage-of-completion method of accounting, the result of competition in our markets, our decentralized management structure, shortages of labor and specialty building materials, retention of key management, seasonal fluctuations in the demand for HVAC systems, the imposition of past and future liability from environmental, safety, and health regulations including the inherent risk associated with self-insurance, adverse litigation results and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are discussed under "Item 1A. Company Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010." These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this filing. Comfort Systems USA, Inc. expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, developments, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. 1 |

34 Appendix I GAAP Reconciliation To Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands) (Unaudited) March 31, 2011 2010 Net Income (Loss) (5,170) $ 1,927 $ Discontinued Operation - (762) Income Taxes (3,699) 730 Other (Income) Expense, net 80 (12) Interest Expense, net 461 221 Gain on Sale of Assets (85) (5) Depreciation and Amortization 4,819 3,636 Adjusted EBITDA (3,594) $ 5,735 $ Note 1: We define adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income (loss), excluding discontinued operation, income taxes, other (income) expense, net, interest expense, net, gain on sale of assets, and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entitys financial results, and accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported us.
